They used to have all the locals in HD (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) as well as a FEW others (ESPN, ESPN2, TBS, TNT). That's it. 8 total HD channels (4 of them being locals!) Then, they decided to drop TNT from their HD lineup. That dropped it to 7! Then in January of this year, they dropped ABC and NBC, because of some squabble they had with Hoak media. That left people with 5 friggen HD channels. FIVE. A few months back though, they did add TNT again, and now they added the 2 locals again.

I'm glad I got out of there in September 2007 and switched to Dish Network. I pay basically what I was paying with Cableone, but I get about 50 more HD channels. Plenty of my friends are dumping CableOne as well, and switching to satellite. It's a shame that CableOne is the only cable company in Fargo. Fargo would GLADLY welcome Comcast or TWC. ]]>Nov 23rd 2008 2:41AM<![CDATA[Comments on Cable One / Hoak Media strike retrans deal, get ABC and NBC back on the air]]>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/23/cable-one-hoak-media-strike-retrans-deal-get-abc-and-nbc-bac/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/23/cable-one-hoak-media-strike-retrans-deal-get-abc-and-nbc-bac/
